Back eons ago, when I was a CTT in the Navy, I was given a pre-mission briefing of “you’ve got 1 week to figure out how to record video, RF, SpecAn shots, and anything else you see on a laptop, and magtape.”. We then packed up everything and went on Ft. Huachuca for TAD. Worked with several companies on different iterations of UAVs. Pretty cool stuff.
Back then, everything (command and control, video down link, etc.) was sent in the clear, unencrypted. My report was if I can see what you’re seeing, I can fihire out where you are and blow you out of the sky.
Cool stuff,
UAV’s basically plastic models and
use once , throw away.
Electronics Made in China.
The one that was “captured” ,well,,,
Obviously a defective unit.
